The 2026 World Cup will be in the United States, Mexico and Canada. This is an important opportunity for the host teams. Each of them has their particular objective and the locality can help them achieve it. Armando González is aware of the great opportunity that El Tri has in the 2026 World Cup.

Mexico has had many difficulties to overcome the round of 16 of the World Cups. In fact, at the 2022 Qatar World Cup they could not get past the group stage. This is why home field is of great importance in the World Cup that is about to begin. Armando González believes that the conditions are in place for Mexico to do a good job.

"We have an unrepeatable opportunity, an opportunity that will not be repeated again. Because very few people can say that they played a World Cup at home and this is going to be our third time. 40 years ago we played the World Cup in Mexico and it was something that they (former Tri team players) say is an indescribable experience," González said.

Armando González is aware of the favorable factor that home field can mean. In fact, in the other two editions that Mexico was home to a World Cup, the Aztecs managed to reach the quarterfinals (1970 and 1986). In this sense, being a host is a factor that has suited El Tri.

"We have an opportunity to transcend, to do something important in our home, in our country, with our agent. So we have to make the most of it," he added.

Armando González analyzes the “greats”

The Chivas de Guadalajara forward managed to be part of the Mexican national team process after a good Apertura 2026 and Clausura 2026 tournament. Armando González takes his first steps in the Aztec team and assumes that role in a good way. The Flock Sagrado footballer tries to learn from the most experienced players in the squad.

"I just try to give my best effort, learn from the great players I have with me, Santi, Raúl, Memo. From all of them I try to learn that someone can always do better than you in anything. They have things that I need, so I try to learn them so that I can also implement them in my game," he explained.
